Excuse my ignorance of not knowing but what is the purpose of the RS Bypass tube? What is the Net / Net gain? Weight savings obviously but what else? Any codes thrown when replaced? Where did you source it at looks great! Thanks

GBos, here’s a good thread with explanation and installation instructions. https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...tallation.html

It only saves about 5 pounds, but it does open up the engine bay and eliminate the need to remove the blower motor when doing engine work. You can buy a carbon fiber RS duct from Rennline, or go with a stock RS duct from the factory. You do need to install a bridge and remove a fuse.

There is one possible down side. The blower motor is designed to turn on occasionally of the engine is too hot after ****ting down the car. You will lose this feature.
